We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Ficus Villa. The house was perfect for our party of 10. The house was well maintained and just as described. Erika was great coming in each day and attending to us. The entire Pinillas team was great and very helpful starting when we first made the reservation several months ago. The team helped with all needs and concierge services, even assisting with a chef for a night.

Villa Ficus
Great Villa! The only thing missing are hooks to hang towels and wet bathing suits ;)
Perfect property for our group of 8 adults and 9 kids under 7. Plenty of room inside and out. The management team was super responsive and set us up with any resources we needed along the way. The neighborhood is about 30 minutes from tamarind, but super safe and has a great beach club with extra pool and spa services. 100% recommended for families and groups.

Amazing Home
From the moment we stepped on property it was clear we made the right choice for our Costa Rica vacation rental! The Ficus Villas was beautiful, comfortable, and clean - we felt right at home the entire stay. The staff was always accessible and made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay even that much more enjoyable - thank you!
Great location! Beautiful house! The bunk room was so fun for the kids!! Both the indoor and outdoor areas were perfect. Very prompt replies to questions or issues. We were a family of 15, all ages, and it worked out wonderfully!

Wonderful villa for families
This villa is perfect for those traveling with children of any age. Well taken care of, has everything one might need, including beach towels, bathroom and cleaning supplies. Housekeeper was helpful, but at the same time gave us room to enjoy ourselves without being constantly in our view. Management company was quick to reply to our questions. Just 5 min away from a really nice beach club. Totally reccomended!

Our stay at The Ficus Villas was exceptional! From the moment we arrived, the Vida Pinilla team was there with a helping hand. They accommodated ALL of our needs, the Villa was in perfect condition and fully stocked, and we truly felt cared for the entire time. We will be returning for another stay in February and cannot wait to be back !
This property exceeded our expectations! The concierge service was exceptional. They were responsive to our every need. They made excellent recommendations. It was one of the best experiences we have had with a rental property. I highly recommend the Ficus Villa!

Fabulous experience
My family enjoyed a perfect stay at the Ficus Villas. The service was EXCEPTIONAL. The concierge team was super responsive and very helpful in providing recommendations and experiences for us. They were very responsive all throughout the day. We absolutely loved the villa and it accommodated our multigenerational family (ages 10 through 83) so well. The villa was very well equipped and our housekeeper, Erica, was amazing. The only (small) recommendation would be to update the towels (though they were plentiful, they have seen better days). However, overall, a top-notch experience, beautiful grounds, excellent staff, and unforgettable memories. Thank you and Pura Vida!
I cannot recommend this house any higher. The house was everything we expected and the hosts were phenomenal. Super fast communication with no issues whatsoever the entire time we were there. Everything you need is close and convenient. Thank you Mergie for a great stay

Paradise Found
My stay at the Ficus Villa was truly unbelievable. The property is second to none. I came with friends and loved that each room had its own bathroom and level of seclusion, making it a perfect getaway for couples retreats or groups of friends. Furthermore, the associated amenities were first class and all the staff was incredibly accommodating. Will certainly be coming back here again!
The house was beautiful and such a fun space to be in. We loved the proximity to the beach club and to the other villas around as well. But even more notable than this, was the quality of the house management team. They really served not just as house managers but as a full concierge service that was willing to help us with all of our needs no matter how big or small. I definitely recommend staying here!
